Ke$ha - Warrior
Pushing the boundaries in this way is exactly what pop music, in all its genre-thieving, structure-hijacking glory, should be doing. It's undeniably batshit insane, but Warrior is never dull, always fun, and frequently a thrillingly unpredictable ride.

What a superb piece of writing. Bravo Tina!
Having listened to it last night, this sums the album up perfectly. Always suspected that amidst the car-crash of her debut, there was a brilliantly bonkers pop record waiting to emerge. And this is just that!
I haven't listened to the album yet
But this review makes me happy, he he. She's not high-brow but at least she's genuinely entertaining, while most of her peers are churning out anodyne boring pop.
what a joke the reviews on this website are
8/10 for this pop whore are you serious? and still no review of the latest Pinback record...
It's called covering all types of music. Pop is a type of music and mainstream culture, in case you didn't realise?
Moderation requested for the unacceptable misogynist language please Sean/Andrzej...
Pinwho?
whore
Whilst I appreciate that you do not agree with the reviewer's opinion or like Ke$ha's music it is completely unnecessary and unacceptable to use the word 'whore'. Why exactly is Ke$ha a 'whore'?
i apologise for the use of the word wh**e and meant no offence
just don't really get why this website is wasting it's time reviewing pop albums surely the mainstream media will cover these already? DIS should concentrate on reviewing more underground and alternative stuff which won't necessarily be covered be by Smash Hits.

why should we 'concentrate' on that?
We review 800+ albums a year. We should be shun pop?
I don't think we were sent the Pinback album for review.
no need to be a troll,
if you are not interested in pop, no one is forcing you to read it.
There is plenty of other stuff that caters for all sorts of tastes on this site.
We have late entrant for 'worst album artwork of the year'
True
It's awful!
